Cannot Add verizon.net Email Account

[RubixCube]

When I try to set up my @verizon.net e-mail account, I get this message during verification:

"Timeout when connecting to "SMTP server". Please check host/port and network connectivity"

port: 587 (mandatory)
host: outgoing.verizon.net

I'm using Zimbra Desktop v2.0.1 under Windows XP Pro SP3.

Has anyone else experienced this?

NOTE: Zimbra v2.0.0 did not have this problem...

Try running as an admin or in compatibility settings mode

Thanks for reply, Dankerman. I'm running as admin.

Have you been to Verizon's email account settings page before? You probably have but I figured just in case it could have the answer you're looking for. Not to mention, there is a VZ Troubleshooter - Email Config tool built into the Troubleshoot link on Verizon's site too.

Excellent tip, uclabennett. I checked both the verizon.net setup instructions for e-mail as well as my MS Outlook 2007 settings. BTW, Outlook works just fine...
